Andrew Korybko – The Reportedly Planned G7 Envoy To Ukraine Would Be Tasked With Carrying Out The Davos Agenda
posted by TID February 14, 2024
So much has happened in the two years since the special operation began that many folks either missed or forgot about what Zelensky told the World Economic Forum in Davos back in May 2022.
Russian foreign spy (SVR) chief Sergey Naryshkin recently revealed that the G7 is planning to appoint a special envoy to Ukraine who’d function as a de facto governor tasked with ensuring that the regime’s elite remain loyal to the West instead of defecting to Russia as their side’s losses pile up. NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg is reportedly tipped for this position after his tenure expires in October, but regardless of whoever it ends up being, their role will likely be carrying out the Davos agenda more than anything ese.
The G7 is an economic bloc, not a military or political one, so its reportedly planned special envoy would naturally focus more on that sort of work even though they could of course always carry out some clandestine activities of the kind that Naryshkin wrote about. Moreover, the American Embassy is known to be the top neocolonial outpost in Kiev, and the Russian foreign spy chief didn’t explain why it would voluntarily cede some of its power in this respect to a vassal organization’s non-American representative.
The abovementioned observations aren’t being shared with the intent of questioning his service’s intelligence, but for the purpose of introducing another interpretation of what these reported plans might be intended to achieve. So much has happened in the two years since the special operation began that many folks either missed or forgot about what Zelensky told the World Economic Forum in Davos back in May 2022.
In his words, “we offer a special – historically significant – model of reconstruction. When each of the partner countries or partner cities or partner companies will have the opportunity – historical one – to take patronage over a particular region of Ukraine, city, community or industry. Britain, Denmark, the European Union and other leading international actors have already chosen a specific direction for patronage in reconstruction.”
It was analyzed here at the time that “the economic pie will be divided by various countries amongst themselves…There’s no way to describe this other than prompting a so-called ‘scramble’ for targeted countries (or proxy ones like in Ukraine’s case) akin to the infamous one in Africa during the late 19th century. This mixture of neo- and traditional imperialism confirms that the US-led West is going back to its historical basics of not even attempting to hide its hegemonic intentions over others anymore.”

Since then, the Line of Contact has largely stabilized, and there’s a high likelihood that either NATO as a whole or Poland on its own with the bloc’s backing would conventionally intervene in the event of a Russian breakthrough in order to draw a red line in the sand as far as east as possible. This means that the conditions are much more comfortable for foreign investors than ever before, which is why the G7 is now reportedly considering appointing a special envoy to Ukraine in order to prioritize Zelensky’s plan.
Furthermore, Poland just subordinated itself to Germany under returning Prime Minister Donald Tusk, so Berlin can now take an even greater piece of the Ukrainian pie than before while giving Warsaw less than its previous conservative-nationalist government which invested so heavily in Western Ukraine expected. The stage is therefore set for “Fortress Europe’s” German leader and the Anglo-American Axis to divvy Ukraine up amongst themselves and apportion the remaining crumbs to their respective vassals.
As a means to that end, it’s sensible for the G7 to appoint a special envoy who’d be tasked with implementing this dimension of the Davos agenda that so many observers forgot about, but which never left the minds of those three’s decisionmakers, who had their eyes on this prize the whole time. The American Embassy already has its hands full multi-managing Ukraine’s military and political affairs, which is why it might approve of that vassal organization helping it manage this country’s economic ones.

Ukrainian troops leave key town of Avdiivka as Russia advances

Ukrainian troops have pulled out of the key town of Avdiivka amid the war with Russia, making it Moscow’s most significant territorial gain since they seized the eastern city of Bakhmut last May.
The development was announced by Ukraine’s new military chief Oleksandr Syrskyi on Saturday, stating that troops were pulled out in order to avoid being encircled by Russian forces.
“I decided to withdraw our units from the city and switch to defense on more favorable lines,” Syrskyi said on Facebook.
“Our soldiers performed their military duty with dignity, did everything possible to destroy the best Russian military units, and inflicted significant losses on the enemy.”
This marked Syrskyi’s first major decision since his appointment on February 8. He said he made the decision to preserve the lives of soldiers and prevent their encirclement.
Russian forces have been trying to advance on the town since October and have managed to surround it on three sides.
The withdrawal is the biggest symbolic victory for Russia ahead of the second anniversary of its “special military operation” in Ukraine.
The decision has been made amid Ukraine’s ammunition shortages, with a $60 billion US military aid package held up in Washington since last year by congressional wrangling.
General Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, who commands the Avdiivka area, said of the withdrawal: “In a situation where the enemy is advancing over the corpses of their own soldiers with a ten-to-one shelling advantage, under constant bombardment, this is the only right decision.”
“Encirclement was prevented, personnel were withdrawn, and our soldiers took up defense at the designated lines,” he posted on Telegram.
Before issuing orders to pull out of Avdiivka, Tarnavsky on Friday said several Ukrainian soldiers had been captured by Russian forces.
The fall of Avdiivka comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is on a tour of Europe to secure desperately needed military aid.
Ukraine said on Friday that fierce fighting was raging on in Avdiivka.

“Fierce battles are taking place within the city,” Tarnavskyi, a Ukrainian general in the east, said on social media on Friday.
“Our troops are using all available forces and means to restrain the enemy,” he said, adding, “New positions have been prepared and powerful fortifications continue to be prepared, taking into account all possible scenarios.”
In addition, Ukraine’s Third Assault Brigade said on Thursday the situation in the city was “unstable and threatening.”
Russia launched the military operation in Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Western countries have responded by backing Ukraine with cash and heavy weaponry while imposing unprecedented sanctions on Russian officials and entities.
Moscow has repeatedly warned that such a flow of weapons to Kiev will only prolong the conflict.
